Welcome

The Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) recently initiated the River North-Streeterville Transit Alternatives Study (RNS). The purpose of this study is to select a transit alternative that will improve access and mobility between the West Loop and River North and Streeterville neighborhoods.

The River North-Streeterville area sees a high number of workers, tourists, and residents coming to and from the area on weekdays and weekends. The need for improved transportation access to and within this area, particularly from the West Loop train stations, has been recognized for many years. The RNS Transit Alternatives Study aims to satisfy this need by utilizing data, analysis, surveys and other information to create and identify transit alternatives. CDOT will seek input on these transit alternatives from stakeholder groups and the public to ensure that the "Locally Preferred Alternative" will be carried forward to the next phase of study.

We recently hosted two Pop Up Meetings (or on-location mini public meetings) in April and May. You can look at the results and press coveragehere.
